432 Fall Sprint Results for N9LB

QSOs   Pts   Grd
   23      46     11

Score : 506

18 el yagi @ 60 feet
DEMI 432-28 Transverter
Rig is FLEX-SDR

Conditions to the West, NW and North must have been poor as I frequently 
called and listened in those directions and heard nothing.

Had good luck looking E and SE to OH, MI, IL

Best DX's:
K8JA  320 miles WI to MI
N8DJB 316 miles WI to OH
K8MD  277 miles WI to MI
KF8QL 194 miles WI to MI

Many thanks to Chicago area rovers K9JK/R and WB8BZK/R at ~80 to 100 
miles distant from my Wisconsin QTH, was able to work them in each in of 
their four grids of operation.

After the contest I kept Mike - WB8BZK/R company as he drove home, 
amazing how well 432 SSB works over our 80-90 mile path to his stacked 
M2 omni antennas on the roof of his car!

Hope to work you all in the u-wave and 6M Sprints!
